The Red Wings continued their hot play with their third consecutive road win and sixth in a row via a 12-9 comeback win over Syracuse. Again, the Wings got poor starting pitching as Kelley gave up eight runs in four innings and the Wings would eventually fall behind 9-3. Luckily, yet again, the Wings got solid relief and the bats were red hot.
Willis Otanez continued his amazing play with two homeruns and four RBI's. Clark also had an unbelievable outing going 5-5. Simons also had three hits, while Tavarez had three RBI's. This all equated into everyone getting into things in one way offensively as the Wings picked up seventeen hits. The Wings now close within four of Syracuse and solidify their hold on second.
